Sorry Henning but this is my cue:

Erwin's website is: http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/leicahome.html

so if one wanted to really know what Erwin was about one could go there with a click.

But perhaps you should introduce yourself Kurt? 
What's your approach to all this?  Where's your website? 
What do you shoot with your Leica's and why?
We know who WE are.
We know who Erwin is.
We don't know who YOU are!

`Who are YOU?' said the Caterpillar. ?

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather
shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when
I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since
then.' 

`What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. `Explain yourself!' 

`I can't explain MYSELF, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, `because I'm not myself,
you see.' 

`I don't see,' said the Caterpillar
